driving smart

Yesterday a friend of mine called and informed me that another friend of ours had gotten in a car accident the night before. He started to tell me the details of the accident, and before I knew it we were analyzing the whole situation. We wondered what happened that night as she was going home that she could have changed. He wondered if there was anything he could have done throughout the night to change what happened to her. The biggest thing we analyzed and talked about was driving. This friend of mine is a little bit of a crazy driver. The friend in the accident was hit by a few boys racing on state street, when my friend told me this he was sad about it because he's been a part of "street racing" before. Because of the accident, he was nervous to even drive to work now. He was nervous because he had just realized that even if he drives the best he can, other drivers can still mess up, and we could be involved in the consequences of their choice. After talking we knew there was nothing we could have done about the accident, the only thing we can do now is change some things in the way we drive to make sure that it doesn't happen to us.
